Our goal is to make sure that no one at the Pov is worried about their sock supplies running out until spring, and that every person who might not always have a place to go at least has warm toes through Montana’s cold winters. In addition to comedians joking for Good, this is a variety show that will include music and special guests. The price of your ticket goes directly to the Pov (after ZACC’s operational costs), and we heavily encourage people to bring in warm, new socks to donate. We need socks for both men and women, and the warmer the better. If you have other new, useful stuff to donate to the Pov (hats, gloves, toiletries, etc.) please bring those things as well – we love it all!
